EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Como, Italy. The focal point of the image is none other than the magnificent Santa Maria Maggiore Cathedral, standing tall and proud against a backdrop of clear blue skies. Its stunning facade showcases a harmonious blend of architectural styles from different periods - Early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque - making it an exquisite example of European artistry. Beside the cathedral, we see the Municipal Hall, a grand structure that exudes power and authority. This building served as a hub for political activities during its time, housing offices such as that of the podesta. Its impressive design features intricate decorations and sections that speak to its historical significance. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we notice various elements that add charm to this urban scene. A street lamp stands gracefully on one side, illuminating both the physical space and metaphorically shedding light on civic life. The furnishings for civic spaces are meticulously placed around the square, providing comfort and functionality for those who gather there. The composition also highlights notable architectural details such as a rose window adorning one section of the cathedral's exterior wall and an elegant dome or cupola rising above it all. Pilaster strips create vertical lines along with lanterns hanging from them while loggias offer sheltered areas for contemplation or conversation. Dating back to approximately 1900 but capturing artwork created between 1445-1486 by artists including da Bont, Fiorino Rodari Giovanni Scarabota Luchino da Lurago Amuzio Brogi's photograph allows us to appreciate not only their talent but also how these structures have stood strong throughout centuries. Immerse yourself in history with this remarkable print showcasing Como's rich cultural heritage - where religion meets politics amidst breathtaking architecture spanning multiple eras.
